As one of the first shipwrecks ever excavated and the source of extraordinary artifacts like the Antikythera Mechanism, the Antikythera site holds a unique place in the history of underwater archaeology. In this talk we will examine how natural and anthropogenic processes have shaped the Antikythera shipwreck site (1st century BCE, Greece). By combining archival research with new excavations and micro-geoarchaeological and geochemical analysis, we will reveal evidence of multiple contemporaneous shipwrecks with similar cargoes. My research offers a holistic reconstruction of the site's formation, demonstrating the value of geoarchaeological methods in shipwreck archaeology.
